Late 17th to early 18th century timber-framed house.

House of the late 17th or early 18th century. It is timber-framed and plastered, with a gabled peg tile roof. The house is of two storeys and attics, with a central square brick stack and a single storey gable roofed store at south end. The front has 19th century casements and central door, with flat hood on scroll brackets. There is a continuous rear outshot with a catslide roof. The simple timber-frame is exposed inside with straight bracing and much reused timber. The attic has substantial joists and is an original feature. The house is a late but very unaltered example of a four room lobby entry house, with stairs behind stack, outshot and attic. <1> See: <2>
